A Random Nurser

Dear Holly,
Thank you so much for your beautiful book! I am truly grateful to you for sharing with us how Our Lord has worked and is working in your life. Order and Peace we need! I have a quick question for you; if you have any ideas I'd appreciate them immeasurably. My husband and I have 6 boys (ages 10, 8, 7, 5, 3, and 6 months). Our youngest, a babe in arms, is a random nurser. How do I work his random needs into my rule or should my rule revolve around him and when I think he will eat or sleep next? Thank you for your thoughts

Holly said...: There were only a few things which I was unable to do while nursing - cook supper, for example. (Although, a friend of mine used a sling and nursed while she cooked.) But I was always frightened of the stove and spilling something!

So, at 6 months old, I'd have a plan - like a highchair activity or a bouncer or something - scheduled for these times when you are absolutely unable to nurse. But then, for the other things, I would just make the time slots a little longer perhaps to enable nursing, if it happens. Or , if you homeschool, just nurse as you school.

As for scheduling - you really have a choice,

I think there are basic things you can schedule for a child this age - perhaps more of a progression - like eat, diaper change, time with Mummy, then choice of nap/playpen/jolly jumper... I'd work his basic routine around mine, if possible, and nurse while I did other things, if possible.

Or, you can examine his daily schedule and work around it. It's really a preference issue, I think.; 1:24 PM

Thanks!
